Ribbon Motif

My meditating, closed
eyes seek guidance
in ribbon motif.

Exquisite, purposeful box,
glossy-silk embossed,
appears in light.
Prayerfully tossed cares
fill its depth.
A soothing lid,
peacefully slid, adheres.

Ribbons in rapture
dance, pleat, weave -
                       bundling box upwards
                                             towards lowering hands …
                                                                     loving, revered hands.

Tell me where those heights are! Do they include financial prosperity for writers? I'm messing with you, you adorable lady who left me such an uplifting comment. Thank you, Sweetie - I cherish your visits. Love ... CayCay

This poem wrapped me up in her beauty, and has rendered me speechless. Without a voice at all, I am whispering "I am spellbound," CayCay.
